MOT re-test regulations tend to be fairly perplexing and really difficult. Permit us to set the landscape for you as regards when you're able to and can't have a FREE re-test.

Firstly, the primary regulation would be that when a your family car has failed its MOT test, the crucial amount of time to have any requisite corrections to be done and any resultant re-test is absolutely 10 working days after the first day of test. This is valid assuming that your vehicle has been mended and thereafter booked in to have a re-test before the end of 10 business days. If all of the aforementioned is true, consequently the computerised MOT process all MOT centres depend on is designed to, at this point, permit us to register your car and perform re-test.

The second rule may be that during an MOT test it is all too often the case that a couple of points could be re-tested very quickly but alternatively specific issues have the need for considerably more measured assessment.

For illustration;

For instance your car fails on 1 tyre; then a replacement tyre is a breeze to spot and a "fast track" MOT retest may be done, this normally would take just a jiffy of the MOT testers energy and as a consequence definitely would not attract a re-test charge.

Or a further example: What if the vehicle failed get through the MOT test on headlamp aims, emissions, and braking systems; in such cases your vehicle or light van has to be enrolled with your neighbourhood Cranleigh VOSA MOT centre to secure a partial re-test and taken in to the MOT test bay, and then the emissions examination has got to be performed, a not so intensive all round check undertaken coupled with an entire braking mechanism test executed. This work frequently takes increased hours of the MOT testers time, and therefore this is going to generally attract a re-test charge.

Accordingly despite the fact that we, and each individual MOT test centre, promotes and promises FREE tests this is often, nearly always, dependant upon when the family car is brought for its MOT check in Cranleigh and following that just what exactly the family car failed its MOT on.

IMPORTANT - if perhaps your vehicle or light commercial van fails its MOT test with us here in Cranleigh VOSA MOT testing station and it is at that point mended by us, then it follows that we are able to definitely carry out any retest FREE (i.e. 100 percent free), this is our thanks to you personally for making a choice to take advantage of our Cranleigh VOSA MOT testing station workshops.

If you need additional clarification, then the following is a number of the free of cost retest items (if the vehicle or light van failed its MOT on one of these details then a fast track retest could be done).
